Princess' personal painter

Eileen waved her small fist angrily, and said through gritted teeth: "Uh-huh, I hate it when people make fun of me with age. This lady is 14 years old now, really 14 years old! Why is the age stalk used? You (zuo) and you (zhe) haven’t gotten tired of playing so many times?”

……

On Duran Castei's side, when he broke free from the shackles and was distracted by the last few words that the imperial princess left him, an unexpected person came to him .

The person who came was dressed in a white robe and was a monk belonging to the Holy See.

Seeing the golden emblem on the opponent's chest, Duran's pupils suddenly shrank for a moment.

The white-robed monk glanced around, and said lightly: "I was praying in a nearby village, and I sensed an evil aura. There are traces of battle here. Your Excellency, can you tell me what happened?"

Duran put his sword back into its sheath calmly, pointed in a direction, and said in a deep voice: "I was on a mission just now, and I saw a suspicious person passing by here. I stepped forward to ask questions but was attacked by the other party." , not long after the fight, the opponent fled in that direction in a hurry."

"I see." The white-robed monk nodded, then walked in the opposite direction to what Duran pointed at, and said to himself as he walked, "Half a year ago, I was hunting heretics in Silesia, but I met that powerful Evil, I finally retreated timidly, and the glory of purifying evil was also usurped by heretics. When will I be able to wash away this heavy stigma..."

Looking at the back of the other party, Duran broke out in cold sweat.

When the white-robed monk disappeared from sight, he held on for a while before suddenly spitting out a mouthful of blood.He had already been seriously injured in the battle with Irene. The white-robed monk just now had extremely powerful holy power, and he endured extremely hard to suppress the boiling blood.

If Duran is not mistaken, the identity represented by the emblem on the chest of the other party is the presiding judge of the Church's heresy trial, which has changed countless people's faces, and is like a death-like existence.And the heresy he was talking about was obviously Alyssa Mina St. Olysses, the girl who had just left.

What Anita never imagined was that her willful kiss aroused a butterfly effect far beyond her imagination.

Chapter 35 Seven Nights Together

At the end of the [-]nd year of the Qingyue calendar, in the middle of Ruolin.

The winter of this year was particularly cold, which made the two of them who had to sleep in the wild suffer a little.Irene relied on magic to keep out the cold, but forgot the delicateness of this body, and accidentally caught a cold while driving in the heavy snow.Afterwards, there were a few days every month, and Irene's mental state was particularly bad, but she completely turned into a weak girl who needed someone to take care of her.

"It's great to reach the destination...Ah Choo!"

Wiping her nose, Erin looked towards the unremarkable town ahead—it was the place where she had agreed to meet "The Clown".Now all she wants is to find a better hotel, take a nice hot bath and sleep well.

It was dusk, and people on both sides of the street looked at the two travelers who were leading the horse with curious eyes, especially Xingtong, who was shrouded in a long robe, was clearly a slender woman.But most people just glanced at it and then turned back to do their own things. During the war, people can't care about other people's things.

Due to the destruction of Elise City, this neighboring town became a place where some survivors stayed, and people who came to this town for various purposes made it a mixed place.Walking on the road, you can see people on both sides of the road doing all kinds of transactions - the sharp-eyed merchants buy gold and silver jewelry from the fleeing people at a low price, and the mercenary group who want to take advantage of the opportunity to grow and develop is tempted by providing food Strong young people are recruited, and occasionally young children who are homeless and have to beg on the street can be seen.

At present, this town is under the sphere of influence of the second princess, Anita, but she obviously has no flaws in sending someone to manage it.More troops from Franz's Third Army were sent to the east of Iris City, and then the geographical advantage declared the occupation of the former capital of Wakabayashi.

"My lord, I beg you, please give me something to eat..."

In front of Irene, a ragged girl begged a passing businessman, but he strode away without even looking at her.Seeing such a scene, Eileen sighed lightly, turned her head and said to Xingtong: "Wait for me."

Xingtong nodded.

She naturally knows the characters of the two princesses she serves very well.Gentle by nature, she definitely can't sit idly by when she sees such a thing.Otherwise, as a troubled foreign race, if Sisyana hadn't been taken in, it would be difficult for her and her sister to find a place in the human world.

Irene took out a few gold coins from her pocket, and when she was about to go over to rescue the poor girl, a man in black robe came to the girl before her and knelt down.

I saw the man in black robe first handed the girl water and food, and then grabbed the girl's hand. After a while, the man in black robe took out a notebook from his pocket, wrote a line on the paper, and tore off the note to hand in. After giving it to the girl, I saw the girl hurried away with a grateful expression.

During this process, Irene's gaze was fixed on the man in black.

She never expected that she would meet an "acquaintance" here.Immediately afterwards, when the man in black got up and turned to Irene, slightly lifted his hood to reveal his beautiful face, and looked straight at him with pure black eyes, Irene understood—this person who has always been closely related to her The young girl was chasing after her specially.

……

Next, led by Qi Ye, the three came to the hotel to put down their luggage.Aileen found a reason to dismiss Xingtong, and asked the black-haired girl, "What did you write to that girl just now?"

The "Old Church" force represented by Qiye Messiah, as a mysterious organization that has protected the body of "Alyssa Mina" for 300 years and is more loyal to the original empire than the Holy See, is expelling Bishop Enoch After assisting Nicki Aldridge to become the new Grand Duchess of Silesia, she officially stepped out of the underground and gradually became active on the continental stage.

Among them, Qiye, as the saint and the highest leader of the sect in the actual sense, has demonstrated extraordinary abilities in the past few months of organizational reconstruction work, and has gradually been valued by various forces—of course, she and Irene It's also on the Holy See's most wanted list of heretics.

"I'm not the only one." Still the same as before, Qi Ye was communicating with Erin through text.

This sentence means that there are other members of the old religion lurking in this town?Taking advantage of Ruolin's civil strife, he took the opportunity to develop his forces and followers, and even quietly came to the enemy's rear, not just to find me, right?If Xi Ya finds out about this, will there be suspicions?

Of course, the good deeds of helping the poor and the weak are justifiable in most cases.

As if seeing Irene's doubts, Qi Ye continued to write on the paper: "Princess Sisyana agrees, this is the condition for asking me to assist you in your actions." The tip of the pen paused slightly, and the girl raised her head to meet Irene's eyes After a glance, he wrote another sentence: "Even if there is no agreement, I will come. I can't let you take risks alone."

It was not the first time Irene saw such stubborn eyes.

Qi Ye hesitated a little, turned the pen around between her slender fingers, and continued to write: "At the end of last year, I regret not taking you away at sea." She paused, obviously to express her emotions, she Pursing his lips, he added emphatically: "It was also when I failed to stop Enoch's plan, I regret very much——"

I saw Irene laughed out loud: "I know, you are so cute."

Even though they didn't meet many times, and the time they spent together was also very little, but Qi Ye always felt that Qi Ye had known him for a long, long time... In a sense, it was true.

Hearing the word "cute", Qi Ye was obviously stunned for a moment, a slight blush appeared on her cheeks, and then wrote: "The situation in Silesia has settled down, sister Niki said she misses you very much, and hopes you can go back Take a look. Silesia is a good base, I hope you can consider it."

"Think about it?" Erin asked puzzled.

Qi Ye's lips opened and closed, but this time he used a real voice, which was very soft but contained heavy strength: "Your Highness, you are our belief."

Noticing the girl's extremely serious eyes, Erin understood the subtext in her words.

The reason why the bishop left the Holy See to found the "Old Church" was more out of loyalty to the empire and the royal family, and he chose to protect the princess' body as his belief.But even though the old religion, as a remnant of the empire, has been maintained for 300 years, whether it is the inheritance of the empire or the duty of protecting the royal princess, most of the original belief has long been wiped out. Ke's experiments for his own selfish desires show that many people have long forgotten their missions.

But all of this changed with Irene's awakening and her actions.

Especially the people of Silesia, experienced a civil war and a terrible turmoil, but Irene appeared as the princess of the empire and finally quelled the chaos. The image of the savior is deeply imprinted in people's minds .Like ordinary people, those believers who learned the truth and found themselves deceived by Bishop Enoch woke up as if from a dream, and turned to "Alyssa Mina" as their faith.

As for Qi Ye, she was also impressed by Irene's figure.

Even after becoming a saint, Qi Ye has never truly believed in God, so the only thing she can use is the "self-deception" technique that Bishop Vikoff said at the time.What is belief in the end, she has never had a real feeling in the past.It wasn't until a few months ago that she witnessed the miracles performed by Irene in the battle against the demons that she suddenly realized that this is faith - joyful and radiant, yearning and longing mixed with awe and fear, as if confused Love and pain, the feeling called "faith" that I got for the first time in my life...

That's right, the underground church that has lasted for 300 years exists only for Irene.

Therefore, in Qi Ye's heart, it became a perfectly natural thing to assist the God-chosen Princess to unify the continent and rebuild the former glorious and powerful empire.In order not to appear as a traitor like Enoch, in the past few months, Qiye has eliminated all internal opposing voices, re-established the mission of the old religion, and truly made everything in the entire organization be based on Irene's will to work.

Of course, Aileen didn't know about this, at this moment she just realized that Qi Ye valued herself more than before, and she felt a little proud.

As they looked at each other, the distance between the two unconsciously became closer and closer. Qi Ye seemed a little shy after saying "You are our faith", lowered his eyes slightly, but let the black hair hanging from his forehead rub against Erin The Qiong nose is very itchy.But in the next moment, Erin quickly covered her mouth and nose and took a step back——

A sneeze!

Woohoo, I hate colds!

It's too bad to come here when you're ambiguous.

With tears in her eyes, Aileen covered her nose, her face began to burn unconsciously, but seeing Qi Ye showed a somewhat angry expression, and wrote a sentence on the paper: "Are you sick?"

"I accidentally caught a cold on the road..." Irene responded in a low voice.

Qi Ye put his hand on Irene's forehead, felt it carefully for a while, then showed a clear expression, and wrote on the paper: "Wait a minute, I'll prepare the medicine for you right now."

Then, Qi Ye took out several bottles from his bosom, most of them were filled with fine powdered herbs, and one of them exuded a mellow fragrance, which smelled like ale.Erin remembered the first time she saw her in a tavern, and remembered that she also fed herself ale last time, so she couldn't help asking curiously: "Hey, do you like drinking?"

Qi Ye's movements froze for a moment, she put on a straight face, and put on an expression of "I'm angry" towards Irene, which frightened Aileen to quickly wave her hand and say: "I didn't mean to offend... I just wanted to ask ask……"

As soon as the words were finished, another hoarse voice came from the door——

"The fragrance of pansies attracted me to this place, and the sweet ale seemed to fill this endless dark night with a mellow fragrance. In another scene, I met the taciturn Highness. I didn't expect it to be such a picture of me and me. It's really... so exciting People are sorry."

Turning his head, he found that "Joker" appeared at the door at some time.

The exaggerated hoarse voice and the mask of smirk, this body that contains a lot of "evil deeds" can't make people feel good anyway, even if they know that the "clown" is a young The demon girl, even under the mocking tone of the other party, Irene couldn't return a good face.

She narrowed her eyes and said, "Indeed, the appearance of Mr. Clown is a bit out of date."

"In this world, there are always some people who think that they are born to be the protagonist, and thus start to be arrogant, but they don't realize that their past success is just a fluke... Such people often appear in my entrustment list." "Joker" leaned against the door frame and said slowly, "Miss Irene, do you still remember the scene when we first met?"

The assassination of Yorick Swain by the "clown" can be said to be the root of many things. Irene naturally remembered it clearly, and she countered coldly: "Of course I remember, you at that time let me really see What do you mean by 'arrogance'... I don't want to deal with people who can only talk, if you take off the mask, maybe I can talk to you calmly."

"Oh, don't all human beings live with masks? I just use it more thoroughly. I really want to know how many people you have deceived with this cute body? What kind of ugly thing is underneath this body? Existence... can actually make so many people surround you." After a pause, "Joker" continued with a trembling voice, "Look in the mirror, have you seen this mask?"

—Look in the mirror, have you seen this mask?

Erin froze for a moment.

"Maybe your heart is as ugly as my mask?"

The next sentence was like a sharp knife, tearing away Irene's disguise in an instant.

The voice echoing in her ears made Erin feel indescribable fear, and the sly mask in front of her twisted into a vortex, as if it wanted to sweep her into it.

boom!

Bang bang bang!

The successive sounds of metal collisions brought Erin back to her senses, but it was Qi Ye who held Erin's hand, and pointed at the "clown" with his wand in the other hand.The hand she unconsciously held tightly, as well as the unceasing rise and fall of her chest showed that Qi Ye was trying to suppress her anger.

Around the "clown", several throwing knives were deeply embedded in the wood, but they were all twisted into inconceivable angles.The "Joker" himself was panting while clutching one arm, his white dress was quietly stained with blood, obviously he was at a disadvantage in the confrontation just now.

"It's the first time I saw His Highness who was furious, His Highness who was furious because of the person I hate the most..." "Joker" looked embarrassed, but still did not change the hoarse voice he pretended, "How can such an indifferent and ruthless Highness Getting angry because of a mere human being... I thought His Highness finally figured it out before agreeing to go with me, but in the end I was just being sentimental..."

Irene was taken aback for a moment before realizing that the person "Joker" was talking to was actually Qi Ye.

The so-called Your Highness...don't you mean His Highness the Holy Maiden?And... mere human... What the hell does that phrase mean?Could it be...

"Hey, didn't His Highness tell you about it? She is actually..."

The "clown" only said half of what he said, and then stopped abruptly. The body of "his" seemed to have been cut by countless silk threads, it cracked in mid-air, and then fell to the ground piece by piece.And the disgusting mask naturally shattered into more than a dozen pieces in an instant, and disappeared together with the disgusting tone.

The main body of this body, or the demon girl named Luna, hid behind the door while the body of the "clown" was disintegrating. Her immature face still had a look of astonishment, and her eyes showed unwillingness. And the meaning of resentment, it took a long time to recover from the transformation of the character's personality.

"My favorite toy has been broken again." Luna lowered her head, her expression hidden in the darkness, her fists clenched tightly, "Very good, our deal, I decided to increase the price... two people tomorrow See."

Your Highness... I'm jealous.

Holding her shoulder that was still bleeding, her petite body quickly dived into the darkness.

Inside the room, Qi Ye finally put down his wand, but met Erin's concerned eyes.

"I'm sorry." Qi Ye, who was in a complicated mood, said something with her lips, and she didn't know if Aileen could understand it, so she turned her eyes to the table as if avoiding it.

Also topped with half seasoned herbs.

Trying to calm down, I stretched out my hand to hold the bottle, and felt Irene hugging me from behind.

"It's okay, there's no need to say sorry..."

Irene hid all the unnecessary questions in her heart, leaned into Qi Ye's ear, and said softly: "If you really care, I can only say that I won't ask too much, and I won't think too much. God, if you think it’s okay, just tell me about you yourself, is that okay?”

Chapter 36 Marriage Robbery*Free Chapter

After only a few years as a killer, she gained a reputation for her outstanding skills.

That sly clown mask is really impressive, coupled with her perverse and violent style, she has many similar names--bloody clown, crazy clown, blasting clown... For this person who walks in the dark In terms of a marginal career, these titles are the best compliments for her.

But many people have forgotten that when "Joker" first debuted, he had a title that sounded a little unclear, that is, "Naru the Humble".

What is humble?
